BURNERv FOR VVELIDINGr-.IMACHINES To all whom it .may concern.' f1 l 4Be'it known that I, AUGUST E. V-iLsHU- snit, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Stafford,- in the county ot'Staford andl a burner ortorch of this character having anl improved construction of tip wherebythe gases passing through the burner' will be eii'ectually mixed beforebeing ignited.

Another object is to provide a torch or burner having arranged'in onebranch thereof a lterin chamber by-means of which the gas passingtherethrough will be puri- With these and other objects in "view, theinvention consists of certain novel features of constructioncombinationand arrangement of and particularly pointed out in the appended Isuitable size and length and are disposed in claims. A

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side view of my improvedburner; Fig.

2 is a longitudinal sectional'view thereof;

Fig. 3 is a cross section through the tip end ofthe burner on .the line3-43 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is anenlarged detail side view of the tip removedfrom the burner; Fig. 5 is an en larged longitudinal Asectional view ofthe tip.

My improved torch or burner is especially adapted for mixing and burningacetylene andf'oxygen gas whereby an intensely hot flame is producedwhich may be effectually employed in connection vwith the welding orfusing of metals.

'AThe burner comprises an oxygen conducting pipe 1 and an acetylene gasconducting pipe 2. The pipes 1 and 2 maybe ofv any parallel relation asvshown. Ori the inner endsof the pipes areV arranged cut-off valves 3 and4 to which are connected the oxygen and gas supply pipes 5.and 6 leadingto the gas andoxygen generators or supply tanks. At a suitable positionin the gas conducting pipes 2 is arranged a gas lter'ing deviceSpecication of Letters Patent. Application filed December 15, 1910.Serial No.
